Slide Show: Starvation Alley Cranberry Harvest
On Long Beach Peninsula, that thin finger of sand extending from Southern Washington’s coastline, Starvation Alley Cranberry Farm is busy growing your new favorite cocktail mixer. In a dark bog surrounded by 10 acres of Northwest farmland, each late fall and winter young owners Jared Oakes and Jessika Tantisook wade through the waist-high water to skim and collect cranberries every October. Waterlogged boggers yank thick fistfuls of weeds entangling the crimson haul before sending the berries to be cleaned and flash-frozen.
